• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Good morning from Southern Maryland

Hello all,

Checking in from the banks of the Chesapeake Bay. The land of blue crabs and rockfish.

Been an avid griller all of my life (49yo) only recently picked up the smoking bug.

Purchased a WSM a few weeks ago, the only time I have really had to do anything other than get it ready to go was a 10lb butt.. Which turned out wonderful.

A little bit about me,
I am a veteran of the United States Navy 1984-1987
4 kids, the oldest has been married off
2 in college
Youngest in HS..

I am a Sys Admin\Security Manager for a DoD contractor.

Hopefully will be smoking a ton of ribs this weekend!

I hope to learn, (and contribute) to this forum...
 
Welcome, come on in, take your shoes off and sit a spell.
 
Welcome, Junksie!

Good to see another Squid checking in.... I'm an AF Vet who earned his wings with the USN.

Appreciate you joining us. Sounds like you've had great success with that pork butt. Please share your successes (and failures) with the family. That's why we're all here: to learn and help YOU learn!

Kind regards,
Shadow
 
Welocme to the asylum!

Take a look around and if you have questions please feel free to contact the moderator team or our senior members. Their names are color coded so you can recognized them.

Also, each section of the forum has a description that you can use to figure out where to post.

Finally, please review our rules! They are pretty straight forward, but looking at them up front may help to eliminate problems later :-D

Most important, have fun and join in our conversations and share and learn!
 
Welcome from SC. It's really good to have you here on this great site.

Thank you very much for your service, Joe
 
Welcome from SE Az...
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome.. Or would that be a smokey welcome? :clap2:

Regardless! Great to be here.. I'm planning 4 racks of ribs this weekend.
 
Welcome to the forum from down here in Victoria.
Nice friendly bunch here that are very sharing with information.
Enjoy your time here, I sure have
 
Welcome to the forum Junksie, glad to have you join us and hopefully take part in the other forums. Thank You for your service to our great nation... Keep us posted on your rib cook this weekend.

We don't have a lot of rules here other than spam and advertising are not permitted, the rest is just common sense, courtesy, and mutual respect for one another.

You'll find a great group of people here with a willingness to help and guide you, regardless of of how simple or how complicated you think your question may be. You'll also find that there are many ways to achieve great food, there is no single "cookie cutter" method as some have been conditioned to think. You'll just have to try a few different methods and soon you'll master the way that works best for you.

We'll be here to guide you and answer your questions as you begin your journey into smoking and BBQ. Pretty soon you'll go from asking questions to posting pictures of your progress, and we will all share in your experience as true Brethren.


We have many different forums here.... Below are just a few of them.

For discussion on BBQ/Smoking related topics, we have the "Q-Talk" Forum. This is a good starting point for all new Brethren.

For those who are interested in competing, We have a "Competition BBQ" forum.

We also have a "Catering, Food Handling and Awareness" and "Catering, Vending and Cooking For The Masses".

We also have a trading forum where members can trade sauces and rubs available from different areas around our country.

For general non BBQ related talk we also have "The Wood Pile" forum.


I hope to see you in the "Q-Talk" forum soon. You'll find help on almost every topic from cooking your first Pork Butt to curing and smoking your own ham and bacon.

If you can't find the topic you need help with, or have questions about a specific topic, just start a new thread in the related forum.

There are many members with years of experience that are willing to answer your questions and share their knowledge to guide you in the right direction. Collectively there is a wealth of experience and knowledge among the membership, including you. Don't be afraid to jump in there and share your knowledge and your experiences as well.
